It was finally here.. Anna's wedding day, the day she had dreamed about and planned for months. The small, picturesque church was crowded with friends and family.
Sunlight poured through the stained-glass window, and the gentle music of a string quartet filled the air. Anna walked down the aisle toward David. Joy surged within her. This was the moment for which she had waited so long. He gently took her hand, and they turned toward the altar.
But as the minister began to lead Anna and David through their vows, the unthinkable happened. A girl stood up in the middle of the congregation, walked quietly to the altar, and took Davids other hand. Another girl approached and stood next to the first, followed by another. Soon, a chain of six girls stood by him as he repeated his vows to Anna.
Anna felt her lip begin to quiver as tears welled up in her eyes. "Is this some kind of joke?" she whispered to David.
"Im.. I'm sorry, Anna," he said, staring at the floor.
"Who are there Girls, David? What is going on?" she gasped.
"They're girls from my past," he answered sadly. "Anna, they don't mean anything to me now.... but I've given part of my heart to each of them."
"I thought your heart was mine." she said
"It is, it is" he pleaded. "Everything that's left is yours."
I was struck with these sickening thoughts: I was betrayed, How many men could line up next to me on my wedding day? How many times have i given my heart away in short-term relationships? Will i have anything left to give my husband?
